HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff ReportUj Horse Haven Master Plan (04 -153) Good evening, Jennifer Prochazka, Staff Planner SAM: This Master Plan is for Horse Haven estates. Staff asked the applicant to include the surrounding properties for reference so that the development could be considered in context with its surroundings. The surrounding properties, not owned or controlled by the applicant, include the existing driving range, the Academy development, switch station, and the floodplains that surround the proposed development. LUP: The master plan shows single family, greenbelts, and commercial, in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The master plan also shows the extension of Appomattox, a minor collector, through the back of the existing driving range property. The applicant has shown this off -site extension to comply with the current Thoroughfare Plan. Staff recently received an application to amend the thoroughfare plan by removing Appomattox in this location ... and that amendment will come before you within the next couple of months. The proposal for Horse Haven Estates includes 17 acres of Single - Family, and approximately 3 acres of Commercial Industrial. Staff is recommending approval of the Master Plan with the exception that the 3 acres shown for "proposed commercial zoning" behind the existing Academy, be changed to reflect future residential development in that area. Commercial development in this location is not desirable because of limited access from a residential cul -de- sac and the distance from State Highway 6. Are there any questions ? ?? » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » »» Item Background: Commercial: Major intersections or on major roadways. The floodplain located on this property is proposed to remain A -O Agricultural -Open. The property was annexed in 1977 and zoned A -O at that time.

STAFF REPORT Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka Date: July 7, 2004 Email: jprochazka @cstx.gov Item: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Master Plan for Horse Haven Estates, consisting of approximately 126 acres, generally located on the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway, south of State Highway 30. (04 -153) Applicant: Alton E. Ofczarzak, agent for Virginia Hermann, property owner. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Master Plan with the exception that the 3 acres shown for "proposed commercial zoning" be changed to reflect future residential development. Commercial development in this location is not desirable because of limited access to a residential cul -de -sac and the distance from State Highway 6. Item Summary: The plan proposes single family development, undeveloped floodplain / greenbelt, and commercial development along the highway. The plan also provides for the extension of Appomatox, a minor collector on the Thoroughfare Plan. Horse Haven Estates consists of approximately 20 acres proposed for R -1 Single - Family Residential, and approximately 3 acres proposed for C -2 Commercial Industrial. The floodplain located on this property is proposed to remain A -O Agricultural -Open. The Master Plan also includes other properties not controlled by the applicant, including the existing driving range, the Academy development, the College Station Utilities switch station, and the eastern and southern floodplains that surround the proposed development. Staff asked that all of this area be included in this Master Plan so that the proposed development could be considered in the larger context. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area for Single - Family Residential Medium Density, Greenways, and Retail Regional development. Appomatox is designated as a minor collector and State Highway 6 is designated as a freeway on the Thoroughfare Plan. The northwest portion of the Master Plan includes property that is currently zoned A -O and developed as the Lone Star Golf Academy. This property is proposed for future commercial and single - family residential development, which is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The southwest portion of the plan includes commercial property, zoned PDD -B and developed as Academy, and is also in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The southern -most and eastern -most portions of the Master Plan include property that is designated as flood plain /streams on the Land Use Plan, and is proposed to remain undeveloped. The remainder of the property included in the plan is currently zoned A -O and shown for single - family residential development. The Greenway Master Plan identifies the greenbelts shown on the Master Plan as Priority 5 and Priority 7 Greenways. These greenbelts are proposed to remain A -O Agricultural Open.
